romney's for it. what does territorial mean? it means you tax things within the territory. right? very simple. plain english. no jargon. let's think about this. we have, after japan, the highest corporate tax burden in the world. so if we apply a territorial standard, and don't cut revenue collections, we've just put on the highest corporate tax burden on things we do inside america. not exactly a job creator. okay? it's very simple. when you hear the word "territorial" think they don't know what they're talking about if they're for job creation. the right word you should hear from them, which you don't, is "border adjustable." border adjustable means that when the goods hit the border coming in, they're subject to an adjustment that levels the playing field. and when the goods go out, they're subject to a border adjustment on tax and tax rebate that levels the playing field. example. when a bmw leaves the port of hamburg, the company gets a 17% of value rebate. it hits no tariff when it hits america. when we ship a cadillac to germany, it has a 17% tax imposed upon it. germany is

romney apparently didn't get that memo. joining me now, cnn contributors and republican strategist, mary matalin and charles blow. you have been tweeting extensively on this. you said you werlivid at governor romney, that the comments were offensive. you said he needs to take a look in the mirror. what do you mean? >> i think he needs to figure out what were his own flaws. what were the deficiencies with his campaign. i get it, okay, he was talking to 300 of his top donors, people who raised almost $1 billion and he needs to explain why he lost and it's easier to blame somebody else than to look in the mirror and blame yourself for your shortfalls but i think it's mitt romney who has to figure out why did he get 27% with the hispanic vote. mary worked for george w. bush white house. george w. bush got 44% of the hispanic vote. it wasn't because he was giving away gifts or freebies and it's just the wrong message to say that hispanics, blacks, young people, are nothing but takers and that that's why they voted for barack oba

romney says cutting medicare hurts job. again, the logic is spending on medicare helps boost employment, at least in part. he even talks through just balancing budget as hurting jobs. when mark halperin of "time" asked if he would balance a budget in his first year, he said no. why did he say no? because government spending, it creates job. halperin asks, you have a plan, as you said over a number of years to reduce spending dramatically. why not go all the way ? romney answers, if you take $1 trillion out of the first year of the federal budget that would shrink gdp over 5%. that is by definition throwing us into recession or depression. so i'm not going to do that, of course. that governor romney is by definition being a keynesian. that isn't some kind of one-time mistake, a keynesian slip so to speak. here's governor romney on this weekend's "meet the press." >> will you balance the budget in your first term? is that a commitment you can make? >> i'll balance the budget by the end of my second term. doing it in the first
